2022 MK John Wilson Trophy Women's Short Program

[CellarDweller]

This is our first time seeing Bradie this season, right?

How neat

The Russian women skated before (what a battle that was!)
The women in Austria just finished (what a strange competition that was)

What I want to know is:

What does MK mean?
Who is John WIlson?

A Legacy of Excellence
In 1696, King Charles II became fascinated with ice skating and requested John Wilson, a noted toolmaker of that era, make a pair of skate blades for him—and the world of ice skating has not been the same since.
The reputation of John Wilson grew, and in 1841, Queen Victoria instructed the company to make Prince Albert and her a pair of ice skates. Today, John Wilson continues to be the standard of excellence for skaters worldwide, offering an unsurpassed English elegance.

Master of Perfection
For more than 300 years, John Wilson has crafted its blades with the optimal balance between high technology and high-touch hand finishing. With an unwavering commitment to research, design and technology, John Wilson crafts its blades from the highest steel quality to create the finest figure blade available.
Every John Wilson blade is produced using laser technology for unmatched precision on the ice.

C'mon Bradie! We are so glad to see you !!!

 

[hermine17]

Oh no

 

[bartlebooth]

Shame about the falls, I kinda enjoyed the program

 

[norwegianfairytale]

Ahhh shame about 2 falls, I don´t know why she didn´t just go safe with triple double combo instead. Her spins are still excellent!

 

[hermine17]

Nice program and nice dress.

 

[momrk]

but you have to start somewhere, and it is a start

 

[Jontor]

Great start Bradie...except for all the falls.

 

[snowflake]

I think MK stands for Mitchell-King.

Yes it is!!!

Don't be too hard on yourself, Bradie, most people don't nail their first competition after over a year away. The program itself is cool and skated well, just the trouble on two of the jump landings.

 

[Paulipau]

Very slow and low on energy today for Bradie.

I believe that the program can work for her if she is faster.

 

[balabam]

Two notes:
1. Bradie looks nicer then before.
2. Despite two falls, she looks so sharp and confident on the ice, face expression is second to none. Do you see, Gracie? Do you see, Korean girls?

 

[yelyoh]

If Bradie can stay healthy she will get those jumps back!

 

[labgoat]

Wow, I forgot how fast Bradie can be. I love her fierceness, she went for everything. It wasn't successful today, but she is not far from it. Very encouraging even with the falls.

 

[desertskates]

I'm sorry to see the falls from Bradie. I love the look of this program, and I think she was well mostly prepared but unlucky today. The determination to come back after such a long struggle with injury is very admirable. My hat is off to her.
